SVEN (Surveillance Video Entertainment Network) (2006/7)
Real-time computer vision and surveillance system that detects “likely rock stars” among pedestrians and generates music videos based upon their features as humorous commentary on the subjectivity and malleability of technological systems used for control. SVEN is a public space project, exhibited in both stationary locations and as a performance in a van-based “SVEN Mobile Unit” (video).
